Baby Mindful Classes

Baby Mindful classes are different to many other baby activity classes, in that classes have a slow and simple pace, giving you the chance to “be” with your baby” rather than “do”.

Each session is based around a well-known nursery rhyme and follows a seven-step programme, including: –

movement

play

gentle stretching

gentle baby touch

breathing exercises for parents

affirmations

relaxation

The unique classes allow a wonderful space for parent and baby to connect and enjoy being with each other – it’s never too early to be introduced to calmness and contentment. Spend quality time with your baby in a calming and supportive atmosphere, where you can benefit from carefully designed exercises to help you relax, unwind, and feel more confident and grounded. Strengthen the bond with your new baby and see how they are gently stimulated and calmed.
